Feedstock for Boron Phosphide

The manufacturing of boron phosphide uses boron phosphate and alkaline earth metals (like calcium or magnesium) as the major feedstock. The changes in the market dynamics of these raw materials affect the production of boron phosphide.

The procurement of boron phosphate is influenced by the availability and cost of raw materials like boric acid (mining activities, geopolitical developments, and international trade policies impact the sourcing of boric acid) and phosphoric acid (geopolitical tensions and natural disasters in phosphate-rich regions affect the supply of phosphoric acid). The changes in its demand in downstream industries like agriculture (fertilizers and synthetic herbicides), ceramics and special glasses, flame retardants, acid cleaners, corrosion inhibitors, catalysts for organic synthesis, refractories, electrical insulation, etc., affect its availability. Also, global trade dynamics, tariffs, and the presence of alternative materials introduce competitive pressures and impact its market availability.

Alkaline earth metal is another major feedstock used in the production of boron phosphide. The availability of natural mineral sources like magnesite for magnesium, celestite for strontium, barite for barium, etc., affects the cost of extraction and supply. The fluctuations in its demand in downstream industries like agriculture, construction, metallurgy, automotive and aerospace, electronics, glass and ceramics manufacturing, medical applications, fireworks, and pyrotechnics etc., affect its availability. Other factors are the complexity and energy requirements of extraction and purification processes, along with environmental regulations and logistical factors like transportation and storage. Also, geopolitical influences and the dominance of certain countries in production impact its global price and supply.
